Leo men and apologising?
When a Leo Man Knows He Messed Up
When a Leo man knows he messed up, he may act proud at first but later show guilt through softer messages, checking on you, joking to break tension, or making a bigger gesture instead of saying sorry directly. Many people notice his apology can come late because admitting fault feels like losing face. In real situations, he is more likely to apologize when he feels respected, not attacked, and believes the relationship is still worth protecting.
When I enter into discussions/arguments with someone and if they do appear upset I would afterwards apologise for upsetting them or being annoying - not necessarily for my opinion just for them being upset - I don't like upsetting people or even thinking that someone I like is upset with me. Its perfectly normal for me to apologise in this way - whether my life depends on it or not and I think that most leo's would be like this.

Not true....I lived with a Leo for about two years,, he was very aware when he had done something wrong and apologized right away....We communicated very well, hardly ever fought. I miss him 😢
aw, its horrible when you're missing someone 😢
But its true, we can and do apologise and admit when we are wrong - this of course is only to those we like, love, respect - others, forgotten about already!

He was a good man, very loyal to me and a good father to his kids, a little vain but in a cute way!! He was a good dancer!! Good lover to. I wish I knew what I had at the time, big mistake letting him go.
Ah sometimes we never know what we had until we let it go - that's the worst feeling, but if he was meant for you he wouldn't have let himself get let go - at least that's what I'm telling myself.
sounds like a true rebound for you both, well look at it this way - you learnt valuable lessons from each other and you quite possibly helped each other through some very hard times - rebounds are there for a reason, doesn't mean the love didn't exist though - you'll get through it and bounce back stronger - as long as you give yourself enough time to heal and find your true self.

Seriously, certain connections only come around once or twice in a lifetime...he took my back and never let anyone bad mouth me, he even stood up to my ex-husband!! Noone had ever stood by my side like he did...I felt truly loved and appreciated!!
Now that ^^^^ is what a leo is like when they love you - your back is always covered. Its one thing we find difficult in relationships though, having our backs covered as much as we cover the others.
Its a long time ago, good to see you still think so highly of him 🙂 I'm more recent than that so still working my way through it all.

I just put 12:00 noon for time and Scorpio Rising came up,,,if thats the case, no wonder we got on so well,,,I have Cancer rising...
The rising changes every hour or so, so unless that was his actual time of birth he may not be scorpy rising, the rest of your charts is good though.
🙂 Thanks, i'll weather it, been here before no doubt will be again, its all experience - I love Geminis too, my mother is one, best mother a Leo girl could have - so bolstering and supportive, she's amazing, sometimes I can't believe someone can be that supporting and she's always there for me, especially now when I need her more than ever, but she brought us up to be independent before she started helping us, very clever woman. Leo and Gem is a great mix, its a pity you two didn't work out, or maybe meet at a different time.

Leo is a social sign.Leos are aware of their "public image." An apology (when one is warranted)
is considered a virtue. The "nobility" of the zodiac (Leos) would naturally
consider personal honour to be important. It is a matter of course and
is a component of their ego.
Don'cha just love the way he words things 🙂

So that has made me very curious. Is it true that Leo men never apologise? What if they find out they were wrong about something? And if that is the case then what is compelling this guy to apologise now? For something that wasn't even that severe? (Well at least in my mind it wasn't, in his mind I guess it was!)
The leo you are talking about, is a 'man'. It really doesn't matter what his sign is though. The ability to apologize to another for being wrong, is a sign of maturity and shows someone who takes responsibility for their actions.
Your friend who told you otherwise, is a 'boy'.
As for the severity of the debate and the apology, he may have felt he may have offended you in some way, and it didn't sit right with him. Leo sounds like a good guy. 🙂

Same here (a Gemini Mum)! And I totally agree on every point. 🙂

Hi everyone,I'm curious, how are Leo men with apologising?
A couple of days ago, I was discussing something with this Leo guy (recent friend) and we were of different opinions about it. He was somewhat pushy about his opinion but honestly it didn't bother me, he was just being passionate. About an hour after I had left, he sent me a text apologizing about being "annoying" and how he knows I must be sensitive about the topic and that he shouldn't have been so annoying. Mind you, this guy is in no way insecure, in fact he's pretty darn confident and opinionated, sometimes to the point of arrogance. When another friend found out about the apology, he made a bit of a big deal of it. He told me with a googly eyed face that it was "impossible", because this Leo guy and Leo guys in general never apologise to anyone even if it was to save their life! 😄So that has made me very curious. Is it true that Leo men never apologise? What if they find out they were wrong about something? And if that is the case then what is compelling this guy to apologise now? For something that wasn't even that severe? (Well at least in my mind it wasn't, in his mind I guess it was!)
From my experience, Leo guy can do something wrong on his "purpose", then apologize for it...of course, only do this to the one who he really cares about... 😉

So true, I think neither one of us knew what we had, we both came out of 13 year marriages and dove right into the pool. Our kids were still very young, financially things were tight. We should have done the dating thing for at least two or three years before moving in together. We only dated for like 6 months before we moved in together.
Sorry to be so curious, I heard about that Leo men are "most faithful" to their wives out of 12 signs, they would never want to divorce if they got married...especially, if they have children together...so their ranking is the "top" of being good husbands.
Is that NOT true— Or maybe, yours is just an exception—
Thanks a lot everyone for clearing this up for me. 🙂 What's funny is that I ended up asking the guy himself, after a bit of grinning and muttering he said that it was "kind of" true.
